Is Silver Fox a medical practice?

Silver Fox is a Social Model Adult Day Program and not a Medical Model Adult Day Health Care. Although Silver Fox is not a formal medical practice, our staff consists of Certified Nursing Assistants, Home Health Aides, and a Registered Nurse, and is able to provide assistance with Activities of Daily Living such as toileting and transferring. While the Silver Fox does not diagnose, provide medical examinations or prescribe treatment to members, our staff work with members to care for their ongoing medical needs. While our staff can certainly offer advice from an experienced lens and even suggest members seek further medical attention regarding certain health concerns, the Silver Fox should not be misconstrued to as a formal medical operation.

Is there any assistance with transportation to and from the Silver Fox?

Both Silver Fox West and Silver Fox East work with Centro Call-a-Bus to coordinate transportation for our members if needed.
